Been following this with interest - we did a similar thing a few years ago at the great north Motorshow at (the then) Lambton Lion Park - turned out to be a great event to get the public interested.
The one we did was over 3 days so we had 2 days of qualifying and 1 of Finals - ending up with a 'Grand Final' where we took the winner of every Final (ie A thro E F G or whatever) and actuall worked out the starting grid based on results.
We ended up with the A final winner going off around 5 laps after the last winner - in the end - all finished on the same lap!!

Couple of pointers for you (some of which have been mentioned)

1. Get some info printed up with a little bit about the sport, the BRCA and Club Details for North East Clubs.

2. Contact Mike Chilvers (BRCA Pro) see if he can loan some banners or BRCA info - also publicise it on the BRCA 'Shows' calendar

3. Make sure you have a reasonable sound system

4. Commentary! you need it for every race to explain what is going on. This is different to a club/regional meeting!

5. Safety Notices and fence around the track (sample notices in Club Manual on BRCA site)

Apart from that - enjoy it - sounds like it will be a great event, and hopefully and annual one (mmm Regional next year???)
